Neil Druckmann - Last of Us: Part II is a 'broken mess'

Neil Druckmann is known as the creative director of the Uncharted and The Last of Us franchises for Naughty Dog, and he recently appeared on a podcast to talk about how are things going with The Last of Us: Part II, throwing out some interesting words regarding the project.

Druckmann talked about the public "uproar" about the Paris Games Week trailer's brutality, saying that 99% of gamers were impressed about what they saw (this trailer can be seen below by the way), and according to Druckmann that short scene has now created an enormous amount of pressure for the development team.

"This and some other parts are like the most polished parts of the game because we knew we were going to show them, and now it's like there's a daunting task ahead of us [...] We've got this slither of five minutes, now how do you make that into tens of hours of experience to look and feel that visceral, that kind of intensity? People don't see that the rest of it - at different stages - is a broken mess," he said.

Of course Druckmann's definition of a "broken mess" might be something different than what an average consumer thinks, but regardless, it seems like there's a long way to go before The Last of Us: Part II is ready for launch. What's your take on the trailer?

Thanks, PlayStation Universe.
